In this section, you can configure camera/microphone behavior, USB data access, printing, and display-related restrictions.

1. Camera access

Controls the use of the camera and whether the user can access the camera access toggle (Android 12+). In general, disabling the camera applies device-wide on fully managed devices, and only inside the work profile on work profile devices.

User choice (default): Default device behavior. Cameras are available and (Android 12+) the user can toggle camera access.

Disabled: All cameras are disabled (fully managed: device-wide; work profile: only for work profile apps). The camera access toggle has no effect in the managed scope.

Enforced: Cameras are available. On fully managed devices running Android 12+, the user cannot toggle camera access. On other devices/versions this behaves like User choice.

2. Microphone access

On fully managed devices, controls the use of the microphone and whether the user can access the microphone access toggle (Android 12+). This setting has no effect on devices that are not fully managed.

User choice (default): Default behavior. Microphone is available and (Android 12+) the user can toggle microphone access.

Disabled: Microphone is disabled (device-wide). The microphone access toggle has no effect.

Enforced: Microphone is available. On Android 12+, the user cannot toggle microphone access. On Android 11 or below, this behaves like User choice.

3. USB data access

Controls what files and/or data can be transferred via USB. Supported only on company-owned devices.

Disallow file transfer (default): File transfers are disallowed, but other USB data connections (e.g. mouse/keyboard) are allowed.

Disallow data transfer: All types of USB data transfers are prohibited (Android 12+ with USB HAL 1.3+). If unsupported, the device falls back to Disallow file transfer.

Allow data transfer: All types of USB data transfers are allowed.

4. Printing

Controls whether printing is allowed (Android 9+).

Allowed (default): Printing is allowed.

Disallowed: Printing is disallowed (Android 9+).

5. Screen brightness settings

Controls the screen brightness mode and (optionally) the brightness value.

Screen brightness mode:

User choice (default): The user is allowed to configure screen brightness.

Automatic: Brightness is automatic and the user cannot change it. You can still set a brightness value, which is used as part of automatic adjustment (fully managed Android 9+; work profiles on company-owned Android 15+).

Fixed: Brightness is set to the configured value and the user cannot change it. The brightness value is required (fully managed Android 9+; work profiles on company-owned Android 15+).

Screen brightness:

Value from 1 to 255 (1 = lowest, 255 = highest). A value of 0 means no brightness value is set.

6. Screen timeout settings

Controls whether the user can configure the screen timeout and, when enforced, the timeout value.

The Screen timeout mode field selects between user-controlled and enforced behavior.

User choice (default): The user is allowed to configure the screen timeout.

Enforced: Screen timeout is set to the configured value and the user cannot change it (fully managed Android 9+; work profiles on company-owned Android 15+).

Screen timeout:

Timeout duration in seconds. The value must be greater than 0. If it is greater than Maximum time to lock, the system may clamp it and report non-compliance.

7. Screen capture disabled

Whether screen capture is disabled.

8. Adjust volume disabled

Whether adjusting the master volume is disabled.

9. Mount physical media disabled

Whether mounting physical external media is disabled.
